x1900xtx voltage??

[Daveb2012]

I am now recovering from a bad error in windows. It would not stay on the desktop for more then 3 seconds with out blue screening. because its a fresh install im pretty confident it was due to all the crashes right before that time from trying to run my card over clocked.

Here is my question, I removed the one ATI service so this means that when I over clock in atitool its not just for 2d? because in Atitool it says for voltage 1.175 for core voltage (which seems low) and 2.086 for mem. all my benching I ran last night was at 1.45 for core and was very stable. now it will crash if I over clock to even 640/730 with these votlages? is this because its trying to use the 2d voltage for 3rd settings which is not enough? because every time I try to play a game it will crash.

how should I keep the voltage for 24/7 settings with stock hs? I was thinking 1.45 and 2.102?? is this too much. thanks for any replys.

I use 1.400V @700/800 :)

I agree with TinTin..... you shouldn't need any more than 1.400 to hit 690-700 on the core. Make sure your fan is at 100% if using stock cooling.

Thanks, Im not sure what the problem is but my machine is very unstable still. I just set cpu to stock settings, and tried to reboot and go into ATI tool and it froze on me with a black screen. before that it was in a reboot loop. and right before that I couldnt get it to stay on for more then 3 seconds with out blue screening. I think some thing is seriously wrong with my computer no clue where to begin in finding out what.

Are you using 3D profile for the 3D clocks? And did you save the voltages for that profile too?

[cantankerous]

I find the core isn't the hard thing to raise on 1.375-1.400 volts, its the memory. Raising that will cause some major instability on my card. Right now I am 100% stable at 680/751 at 1.375v. Haven't tried much higher or I get lockups in firefly test of 05 or solid black screen when under heavy load for a long time (tested with scan for artifacts which really heats up your card over time.)

will voltmodding shorten life by alot?

[arcane613]

mine can do 700/830 @ 1.4v/2.086v

1.475v/2.136v can do 735/865.

currently using zalman fsv7 to clock it... ram isnt higher tahn room temp...its ice cold to touch...

seem to have hit a wall tho, even tho my core only maxes around 45°C after about 4 hours of quake4 w ultra settings...

its wierd... at those volts (1.475v/2.136v) i get 550-650fps in atitool..

at 725/856 @ 1.45v/2.1v i get 700-800fps... but its not 3dmark or game stable (freezes after bout 20-35 minutes)

gonna play around a bit some more tonight when ig et back from work...these cards r very different...

generally, volt modding does shorten the life, but how drastically, i dont think anyone truly knows yet (as theyve only been out for a mo or so)
